Three elements of art that I used in this project were texture, form, and shape. Texture is shown through the three round pieces and the two cone shaped pieces on the sides. It can be described as a rock texture on the cones and a porous texture on the round parts. Form is created by the bubbly part on the left of the piece. Shape is shown from the surface parts of the project showing mostly circles. The three principles of art in this project are movement, variety, and unity.  Movement is created through the stringy pieces that wrap all throughout the piece. Also movement is created through an arc from tip to top. Variety is expressed through the mulitple shapes and forms throughout the piece. Unity is shown to how everything comes to together at the tip of the piece on the back. To me the work kind of feels like some kind of alien lifeform of some sort. Theirs not really a mood to the work. I believe i had pretty good craftsmanship while making this project, I think I would of made the project bigger though if I had to remake it.

 
What I learned that it is hard for me to think of making objects that I can not relate to real life 

objects. Also making the texture for these objects proved to be difficult for me to handle. These 

maquette’s reflect my style because they reflect the way my mind can spontaneously produce images 

from my mind and make those images into ceramic objects. The most interesting object to me is the one 

that has the multiple cones stuck together with a rough surface and the teeth looking things on the 

hollow inside of the cones. It is interesting to me because I like the texture that I put on it. 

I believe that this maquette is my strongest because it shows many aspects of art such as 

texture, form, size, shape, and pattern. The maquette the presents the best glazing process is the cube 

one. This one just has many glazes and they also blend together in a very superb manner. The second 

strongest maquette is the one linear one with two right angles. I like the blend of glazes that this one 

produced. If I were to do this project again I would glaze the maquettes different color and experiment 

more with different type of textures.
